Dealership or a qualied workshop as soon
as possible. After 685 miles (1,100 km), a
device is automatically activated to prevent
the engine from starting.
In both cases, a range indicator indicates
the distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is immobilised.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue
®
freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue
®
tank, allowing you to continue driving
in very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue
®
It is recommended that the AdBlue
®
be topped
up as soon as the rst alert is issued indicating
that the reserve level has been reached.
For the correct operation of the SCR
system:
– Use only AdBlue
®
uid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
– Never transfer AdBlue
®
to another container
as it would lose its purity.
– Never dilute AdBlue
®
with water.
You can obtain AdBlue
®
from a Fiat Dealership
or a qualied workshop, as well as service
stations equipped with AdBlue
®
pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles.
Never top up from an AdBlue
®
dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on
storage
AdBlue
®
freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates
above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a
cool area and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the uid can be kept for
at least a year.
If the uid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out at room temperature.
Never store AdBlue
®
containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue
®
is a urea-based solution. This uid is
non-ammable, colourless and odourless (when
kept in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
a󰀨ected area with soap and running water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the uid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant e󰀨ect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue
®
out of the reach of
children, in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a at and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise the
AdBlue
®
may be frozen and so cannot be poured
into the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
Never pour the AdBlue
®
into the Diesel
fuel tank.
If any AdBlue
®
is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the uid has crystallised, clean it o󰀨 using a
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5
minutes before switching on the ignition,
without opening the driver’s door,
unlocking the vehicle, inserting the key
